If you think that you have seen enough beauty, Finland’s scenic view might prove you wrong. Chilly sunny summer of July is the apt season to hole up there. Besides site seeing I also indulged in outdoor activities, pretty enjoyed! Visit is expensive but very rewarding indeed.

You will never return satisfied from your first trip at Finland. The place needs minimum 3 trips to explore its every beautiful aspect. My first trip has made me rather sad, if only I could pack up my backpacks and return back to Finland’s lap.

What a picturesque place! The treat to the eye! Tall sea fortresses with manicured gardens were really breathtaking. Went click, click at very spot I went. Also took a steam boat on Lake Päijänne.How blissful I felt, as I ferried past beautiful sites.
